Citroen c3 14hdi heater blower on constant

hi
check your cooling liquid.

Have a load test done on the battery as the glo-plugs should get very hot very quickly. Diesel engines have to have a high rpm crank speed or they will not start and will leave unburnt fuel in the cylinders ( wet glo- plugs). Every indication is that the battery is flat or is not the right capacity for the car.

folks out side UK have no clue what my51 plate
we use the VIN to learn what year it is. and engine,and what country sold to.
is dash heater blower dead? on even high? speed?
test 1 of 10 . or so.
test 2 does pcm scans show ect at 180 to 200f temp?
google 200f to C and get your answer.
test 2 do both fire wall hoses, to heater core feel super hot, hand flays off?
i not both the core is clogged
if all hoses water feel cool they are and thermostat bad or missing

Hi all. Yes this is a very common issue. 2 distinct issues in fact are common with the aircon.
1 you get fan on certain settings only. This is the resistor gone and johnjohn2 has identified the fix for this above. This is usually (although not always not intermittent and so you will usually lose all other settings over night and they don't come back
2 you get no fan activity at all. This starts to happen intermittently and then gets more frequent until the fans won't work at all. The fix for this is expensive through Citroen but cheap if you get the part off ebay. It is the ignition switch cable which has a fault. A very common issue. You need to remove the ignition switch and replace the cable from it. Work is not long but plugs can be tight and fiddly.
here is the link for the part

good luck

It is hydraulic. Are you engaging 2nd gear prior to reverse to slow gear motion and ease reverse effort? Is the engine idle speed with specs?

Before removing the heater switch on this 2006 citroen hdi I would first have the blower motor checked and the most common reason for this and other blower problems would be the blower resistor.

Your blower works on and off at times, first locate the blower motor and the resistor. the blower motor is located on the heater box, look under the pass/side of the dash, you may have to remove under dash cover to see blower.
When you have located the blower now look to the side on the heater box, there you will see a connector plug, it plugs into a connection on the heater box, this will be the resistor, the resistor slides into heater box and the end of it bolts to box to hold it in place and then the connector plugs into it, if you can not locate it then follow wires that plug into blower , follow wires back they will lead you to resistor,
next time blower does not work wiggle connector to resistor and see if blower turns on, if it does then resistor is the problem. also unplug resistor plug at resistor and check for any burning of connectors at plug and inside resistor.

I would bet its a bad resistor or the plug is brunt due to high draw from bad connections, if plug has burn damage to connectors then replace the plug along with resistor.

Don't worry I'm sure you will get the solution of your problem, just check the link I attached

CV joint is dry! in the straight position it is not working but when turned, either way, it is working hard and if dry the balls stick and click.

May not be the heater. Could be you have something burning up and this is causing the heat to be dispersed in to car.
If the pulleys all work on one looped belt, see if one of the pulleys is locked up (not spinning). This will cause the belt to burn and may cause engine to overheat.
What type car?
